Two Guhyasamaja Tsa Tsas

Made from the same mold

This photo shows a very rare example of two surviving very old Guhyasamaja Tsa Tsas made from the same mould. As expected, the two dimensions of the fired Tsa Tsa are not identical. However, it is easy to see that the same mold was used.

You can clearly see that the one on the right has been exposed to more environmental influences in the 900 years since it was made. Its surface is much more worn than the one on the left.
